Jamaican Vireo

The Jamaican vireo is about 12.5 cm (4.9 in) long and weighs about 9 to 10 g (0.32 to 0.35 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a mostly greenish olive to grayish olive head with yellowish olive gray above the lores and on the chin and throat. Their upperparts are greenish olive to grayish olive with a slightly brighter rump. Their wing coverts are brownish gray with wide yellowish white tips that form two wing bars. Their primaries and secondaries are dusky to grayish with paler olive green outer edges and whitish inner edges. Voice: The Jamaican vireo's song is highly variable but in general is rapid and high pitched; a phrase is repeated for several minutes and then changed. "Individual notes within phrases are often clear, slurred whistles, but phrases can also include scolding sounds or modulated notes." Phrases have been written as sewi-sewi and wee-weet-weet-wuu.
